Sudden change to ID squat
Hello,
There have been some Covid-era changes to the gym I attend for the short-term. As the lone non-Crossfit lifter, I've been relegated to the oly lifting area which has a squat stand, but no safeties that I could locate last week. Squatting near-max loads here without a spotter is the wrong choice.
For squat intensity day, I'm thinking to do either dynamic effort, maybe 10 doubles, or some variation of a paused squat with submaximal loads. What do you recommend in my situation? I need something that will be challenging but with submaximal loads.
The gym owners have been very good to me and I anticipate that the old setup will return. In a way, this is a welcome rest of max loads, as I've been a bit beaten up lately and my bar tilt asymmetry (form creep) needs to be addressed.
Thanks for your suggestions. I loaned out my edition of PPST3 pre-Covid, but I've been perusing PPPST2 for now.
